Overview

SprintRetro is a free Atlassian Forge app from Agile Pulse that runs sprint retrospectives directly inside Jira Cloud. It pulls live sprint metrics (velocity, scope change, carryover, cycle time, committed vs delivered) into a collaborative retro board, and the free listing also carries an infinite whiteboard, anonymous team-health pulse checks, timers, and an AI facilitator, alongside templates, anonymous voting, cross-sprint action tracking that can create Jira issues, GIFs, kudos, polls, and icebreakers. Both Marketplace listings are Cloud Fortified. A separate paid Pro app sits alongside the free one.

Best for: Scrum teams already living in Jira Cloud who want a no-cost, no-friction sprint retro tool with sprint metrics baked in.

How SprintRetro describes itself

SprintRetro pitches itself as the retro that lives where the sprint data already is — an Atlassian Forge app that never leaves Jira Cloud.

"All-in-one retrospectives with real sprint data — reflect smarter, act faster, and improve together."

The 2026 Marketplace copy widens that to "a continuous-improvement workspace for Jira": retros plus an infinite whiteboard, sprint metrics, anonymous team-health pulse checks, an AI facilitator, and action follow-through across sprints, on the Scrum staples plus Sailboat and Team Radar. Agile Pulse leans hard on free — the app is "currently available at no cost, allowing unlimited user access on your Jira instance." The paid Pro app is never mentioned on sprintretro.co; you only find it on the Marketplace.

Our take

For a small Scrum team on Jira Cloud whose bar is "a working retro board that costs nothing," SprintRetro clears it comfortably. The Jira-native sprint metrics are still the thing you cannot get from a generic retro tool, and the action loop is the best part: unfinished actions carry into the next retro, get quality-scored, and can be pushed into Jira as issues. Two findings raise the floor this pass: both listings are Cloud Fortified (Atlassian-administered bug bounty, reliability SLOs, one-business-day response on critical tickets), and the whiteboard, pulse checks and AI facilitator sit on the free listing rather than behind Pro. v6.0.0 shipped 19 July 2026 across 858 installs, so this is not abandonware.

The ceiling has not moved. Everyone in the retro needs a Jira licence, there is no board export of any kind, no async mode, no scheduled retros, no cross-team rollup. The trust centre shows SOC 2 and ISO 27001 logos with no status label and no report behind them — those are Atlassian's Forge certifications, not Agile Pulse's.

Free, Jira-native, and genuinely improving — right for one team inside Jira, not yet a continuous-improvement platform for an org.

Pros

  • + Genuinely free for unlimited users on your Jira instance — the paid Pro app is optional, not the entry point
  • + Pulls real sprint metrics (velocity, scope change, carryover, cycle time, committed vs delivered) into the retro itself
  • + Strong action loop: unfinished actions carry into the next retro, get quality-scored, and can be pushed into Jira as issues
  • + Cloud Fortified on the Atlassian Marketplace — bug bounty, reliability SLOs, and a one-business-day response commitment on critical tickets
  • + Built on Forge: no separate login, and the vendor states no third-party API calls or external data sharing

Cons

  • − Jira Cloud only — every participant needs a Jira licence, and there's no Slack, Teams, Confluence, GitHub, or standalone web app
  • − No board export at all — no PDF, CSV, or image download; the only data that leaves is a Jira issue
  • − No async mode, presentation mode, drag-and-drop grouping, or scheduled/recurring retros
  • − No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 of its own — the trust centre shows framework logos with no status label and no attestation report behind them; no SCIM, audit logs, or cross-team reporting either
  • − Free-versus-Pro split is undocumented: both Marketplace listings advertise the same feature set, and Pro is never mentioned on sprintretro.co
